Is it OK to drink Prune juice 3 times a week or is it like a laxitive that messes up your natural digestive system?

It doesn't mess up your digestive system - it actually helps to keep you regular. They always say "get lots of fibre in your diet", which is exactly what the prune juice is doing. Yes, it does work like a laxative, but unless you have uncontrollable diarrhea, you will be just fine drinking prune juice.

It'll work good as a laxitive. Older people use it all the time. You might find salads more palitable though. It very well may mess you up for a couple days, but any kind of fiber will. You have to either increase slowly or "wait" for you body to adjust. By "Wait" I mean go to the bathroom all the time.
